envirovent 230V IPX4, SELV IPX5 Filterless Infinity Fan Installation Guide

envirovent 230V IPX4, SELV IPX5 Filterless Infinity Fan

Safety

• Read and understand these instructions before beginning installation. The unit should be installed by a competent person.
• Check there is space to fit the unit in your chosen location. As standard it can be installed using 100mm or 125mm inside diameter duct. With the optional adaptor, a 150mm duct can also be used.
• The unit can be wall mounted as standard, or ceiling, recess, inline and window mounted using optional kits (see page 15 for further information). The unit cannot be wall mounted upside down (with the electronic boards at the bottom) as this will void the warranty.
• Ensure the operation of the unit does not affect the operation of open-flue appliances. If you are unsure, please consult local regulations or a qualified gas engineer. Consider the external cowl location in relation to open-flues from appliances e.g. boilers. You must ensure the cowl is positioned a minimum distance of 300mm away in all directions. EnviroVent recommends at least 2m clearance.
• In kitchens, if the unit is fitted above a cooker, it must be installed a minimum distance of 1 metre above any hob, and not have a pullcord fitted.
• This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and usage instruction by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the unit. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children.

Electrical Connection

• The fan must be able to be disconnected from the Mains supply after installation. When wiring the unit to the Mains power supply, a suitable local isolator must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the IET Wiring Regulations.
• Connection to the fixed wiring must be made outside the unit in a suitable location, following IET Wiring Regulations.
• The power cable running into the cable gland must remain the supplied flexible cable (not a solid core lighting and mains cable). If any other type of cable is forced into the cable gland, the unit will be damaged, voiding the warranty.
• If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by EnviroVent, an authorized service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not remove or tamper with the electronic circuit boards inside the product. The unit requires a continuous electrical power supply and should not be wired through a light switch.

Wiring Regulations
All wiring must comply with Building Regulations and the current IET Wiring Regulations (BS7671 in the UK) or equivalent standards for other countries. The final installation should be examined and tested by a qualified electrician.
The fuse in the pattress box (SELV Variants) may need to be changed if the product is installed outside of the UK.
This product is not suitable for use with a Type AC RCD

Diagrams

Connect the local isolator to the Mains as part of the fixed wiring. Connect the N and L connectors of the fan power cable to the local isolator.

The red 12V cable from the unit must be connected to the red cable on the SELV power supply using the supplied terminal block. The black 12V cable from the unit must be connected to the black cable on the SELV power supply using the supplied terminal block.

About the Product

Function
The EnviroVent Filterless Infinity Fan has been developed to improve indoor air quality, reduce humidity levels in kitchens and bathrooms and resolve condensation and mould problems. It is designed to operate continuously for up to 8 years without a major service.

Datalogger
The Filterless Infinity Fan includes a datalogger as standard which is able to provide the following:

• The total running time of the fan
• The time the fan has spent in each of the two speeds (trickle and boost).
• The time the fan has spent in periods of increased humidity.
• The energy usage of the fan.

This data can be provided for 30 days and 12 months (with the exception of the total running time). If required, all data with the exception of the total run time can be reset. For further information on this, please call EnviroVent on 01423 810 810.

Variable Speed Control
As standard, the Filterless Infinity Fan includes the option for variable speed control of the trickle speeds for both larger properties and to ensure building regulation compliance. This can be accessed via the datalogging keypad under the front cover of the fan and has 25 increments from the factory set point up to 100% airflow.

Humidity Tracking
As standard, the unit is fitted with Intellitrac® Technology to sense the relative humidity in the room. Once above the setpoint, the fan speed will increase as humidity levels rise and decrease as humidity levels fall. This intelligent function reduces energy costs, motor wear, and ensures a long life for the product.

Pullcord
If your Filterless Infinity Fan includes a pullcord, it can be used to engage the maximum extraction rate for odour control. Pull down on the cord to increase the unit to the maximum extraction rate. Pull down again to decrease the unit back to the low extraction rate.

Cartridge Replacement
If necessary, the central cartridge can be exchanged for a replacement. The removed cartridge can be returned to EnviroVent for recycling. This allows the front cover, rear carcass and duct to remain intact throughout the life of the property, eliminating the wasteful disposal of non-biodegradable material to landfill sites.

Installation

ISOLATE THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION

1. Loosen the two screws on the bottom of the unit, leave the screws in place and remove the front cover.

2. Pull the central cartridge out from inside the rear carcass.

3. Disconnect the green connector end of the power cable from the unit then set the central cartridge to one side.

4. Connect the power cable and local isolator to the Mains as in the wiring diagrams shown on page 5. Then tighten the cable gland on the rear carcass.

5. Insert the rear carcass into the wall duct.

6. Fix to the wall using four of the labelled fixing holes and the four screws and wall plugs provided.

7. If using a backdraught shutter, insert it fully. The disc must open towards the outside of the property.
   (Do not fit this if the unit is ceiling mounted).

8. Insert provided caps into the fixing holes at the top of the rear carcass (1, 2, 3).
   Not using these will void the IP rating and warranty.

9. Reconnect the green power connector to the unit.

10. Insert the central cartridge into the rear carcass. Do not trap any of the cables. Fix in place using the four supplied screws.

11. To change unit settings, adjust switches 1 and 2 on the central cartridge.
    a) Default 230V duty is kitchen and Standard Trickle.
    b) Default SELV duty is bathroom and Standard Trickle.

12. Now apply the adhesive foam pad over the switches.
    Not using this will void the warranty and IP rating.

13. Ensure the impeller is fitted correctly, the two clips should both be engaged.

14. Replace the front cover ensuring the pullcord sits into the slot. Then tighten the two screws.
    The unit will not operate without the front cover in place.

15. The mains supply can now be reactivated.

Datalogger and Variable Speed Control Operation

Data Logger

1. Loosen the screws and the front cover from the fan. Note: the screw should not be fully removed

2. The display will automatically light up with the total run time.

3. Using the left hand arrow button below the display, cycle through to show options for:
   • The total running time of the fan
   • The time spent in trickle or boost
   • The time spent in periods of increased humidity
   • Energy usage in kWh.

4. Use the right hand arrow button below the display to show the collected data over either 30 days or 12 months (except the total run time).

5. All data apart from the total run time reset.
   For further information on this setting, please call 01423 810 810.

6. Once the front cover is secured on the front of the fan the screen switches off. If the cover is then removed again, the datalogger defaults back to the last screen that was accessed.

7. If the buttons below the display are not pressed for 30 seconds the display will switch off. The screen will light up again once the buttons are pressed.

8. Once the necessary data is collected, replace the cover and screws for the fan to resume operation.

Variable Speed Control

1. Loosen screws and front cover from the fan.

2. The display will light up automatically to show the datalogging menu.

3. Press and hold the right arrow button for ten seconds until ‘Kitchen Trickle’ or ‘Bathroom Trickle’ appears. This is dependent upon the fan setting switch which can be adjusted using steps 11a and 11b on the installation menu.

4. The screen will also show ‘Default’ which means that the fan is currently programmed to run at the minimum trickle speed based upon the performance data on page 15. Using the right hand arrow increases the speed by 4% per press.
   This continues up to 100%, with 25 increments.

5. Once the trickle speed has been increased, using the left hand arrow will decrease the trickle speed by 4% per press.

6. Once the appropriate trickle speed is selected, replace the front cover and screws and the fan will run as indicated.
